PSALMS 2HIS KINGDOM IS

PROPHESIED

PS. 2:6-9: GOD ANNOUNCES HIS KINGDOM

6 "I have installed my King        on Zion, my holy hill."  7 I will proclaim the decree of the LORD :        He said to me, "You are my Son;        today I have become your Father.  8 Ask of me, and I will make the nations your inheritance, the ends of the earth your possession.  9 You will rule them with an iron scepter;        you will dash them to pieces like pottery."  

ISAIAH 9:6

 For to us a child is born (human) to us a son is given,(divine)and the government will be on his shoulders. (kingship)And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace (wisdom, power, peace)

THE SON OF GOD IS THE KING SENT BY GOD TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD FOR GOD

THE KING SENT BY GOD

HAS ALREADY COME!

THE KING WAS SENT TO BE BORN

IN ISRAEL (THE MOUNT ZION)

ISRAEL DIDN’T RECEIVE HIM AS

THE KINGIn spite of all the

prophecies and signs spoken before hand

by the prophets

KIMGDOM’S PROPHECIES

FROM THE ROOT AND STUMP OF JESSE

Isaiah 11:1-5- A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse; from his roots a Branch will bear fruit. The Spirit of the LORD will rest on him-- the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of power, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD--and he will delight in the fear of the LORD. He will not judge by what he sees with his eyes, or decide by what he hears with his ears; but with righteousness he will judge the needy, with justice he will give decisions for the poor of the earth. He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth; with the breath of his lips he will slay the wicked. Righteousness will be his belt and faithfulness the sash around his waist.   Word in 700 B.C.

ISAIAH 11:10

IN THAT DAY THE ROOT OF JESSE WILL STAND AS A

BANNER FOR THE PEOPLES; THE NATIONS

WILL RALLY TO HIM, AND HIS PLACE OF REST WILL BE GLORIOUS.  700 B.C.

Romans 15:12

And again, Isaiah says, "The Root of Jesse will

spring up, one who will arise to rule over the

nations; the Gentiles will hope in him."

ISAIAH 16:5 IN LOVE A THRONE WILL BE

ESTABLISHED; IN FAITHFULNESS A MAN WILL SIT

ON IT--ONE FROM THE HOUSE OF DAVID--ONE WHO IN

JUDGING SEEKS JUSTICE AND SPEEDS THE CAUSE OF

RIGHTEOUSNESS.  700 B.C.

Matthew 1:1, 6, 16: A record of the genealogy of Jesus Christ the son of

David and Jesse the father of King David. …and Jacob the father of

Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.

MICAH 5:2- BUT YOU, BETHLEHEM EPHRATA,

THOUGH YOU ARE SMALL AMONG THE CLANS OF JUDAH,

OUT OF YOU WILL COME FOR ME ONE WHO WILL BE RULER

OVER ISRAEL, WHOSE ORIGINS ARE FROM OF OLD,

FROM ANCIENT TIMES.  700 B.C.

Matthew 2:1 After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the

east came to Jerusalem

ISRAEL DIDN’T RECEIVE HIM AS

THE KINGIn spite of His

precursor’s message: THE VOICE

THE VOICE WAS THE PROPHET JOHN BAPTIST

His mission was to prepare the way for the arrival of the

King

ISAIAH 40:3-5 A voice of one calling:

'In the desert prepare the way for the Lord;make straight in the wilderness a highway for our God.Every valley shall be raised up, every mountain and hill made low;the rough ground shall become level, the rugged places a plain. And the glory of the Lord will be revealed,and all mankind together will see it.For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.'"

MALACHI 3:1 "See, I will send my messenger, who will

prepare the way before me. Then suddenly the Lord you are seeking will come to his temple; the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, will come," says the Lord Almighty."

MATT. 3:1-3 In those days John the Baptist came,

preaching in the Desert of Judea and saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near." This is he who was spoken of through the prophet Isaiah:

"A voice of one calling in the desert, 'Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him.' (Isa 40:3)."

NOTHING COULD GO

WRONGThe king was coming

and should have been recognized and accepted as the king

promised by God;The prophecies were very clear and were been truly fulfilled.

BUT

Israel rebelled against the King,

plotted against Him with the rulers

of the earth, and crucified Him.

BUT

Israel despised the divine signs, the

prophecies and the prophet’s warnings

GOD’S PLAN

TO CONQUER GOD’S KINGDOM ON EARTH IN 2 PHASES:

1st arrival in Bethlehem 2000 years ago- recorded in History

2nd arrival in Israel in the future, after the prophetic signs: the birth pains period followed by the tribulation and world war against Israel

GOD’S PLAN: THE CONQUERING OF HIS KINGDOM ON EARTH IN 2 PHASES

1ST PHASE: THE COMING OF THE KING AS THE SAVIOR OF HUMANITY FROM THE REBELLION AGAINST GOD. HE CALLED THE PEOPLE OUT OF THE WORLD TO BECOME THE PEOPLE OF GOD.

For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves,

(Col. 1:13)

GOD’S PLAN: THE CONQUERING OF HIS KINGDOM ON EARTH IN 2 PHASES 1ST PHASE: THE CONTINUING WORK OF THE

CHURCH __ THE KING’S BODY, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT, ANNOUNCING THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM TO THE EARTH AND SHOWING THE MANIFOLD WISDOM OF GOD TO THE PRINCIPALITIES AND POWERS OF DARKNESS.

His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms, according to his eternal purpose which he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Eph. 3:10)

GOD’S PLAN: THE CHURCH

ANNOUNCES THE KINGDOM

THE CHURCH ANNOUNCES THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM IN A PROPHETIC WAY AS THE PROPHETS OF THE OLD TESTAMENT DID:

1ST PHASE: JESUS HAS ALREADY COME HUMBLY AS A MAN TO RESCUE US

2ND PHASE: HE IS COMING BACK AS THE ETERNAL KING AND IN GLORY

The church announces: publicizes the heavenly decree and makes it known

GOD’S PLAN: THE CONQUERING OF HIS KINGDOM ON EARTH IN 2 PHASES

2nd PHASE: THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST AS THE ETERNAL KING.

THE KING WILL COME AGAIN

HE WILL

COME TO

REIGN FOREV

ER

AND THE CHURCH WILL REIGN WITH HIM

2ND PHASE- DANIEL SAW IT 7:13-14

"In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man, coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence. He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all peoples, nations and men of every language worshiped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.”

DANIEL 7:27 “Then the sovereignty, power and

greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven will be handed over to the saints, the people of the Most High. His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom, and all rulers will worship and obey him.”

JOHN SAW IT- REV. 11:15-18  The seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and

there were loud voices in heaven, which said:    "The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he will reign for ever and ever." And the twenty-four elders, who were seated on their thrones before God, fell on their faces and worshiped God, saying: “We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty, the One who is and who was,    because you have taken your great power       and have begun to reign.

The nations were angry; and your wrath has come. The time has come for judging the dead, and for rewarding your servants the prophets and your saints and those who reverence your name, both small and great— and for destroying those who destroy the earth."
